Your book talks a lot about the importance of making fast decisions, why is that important?

What or where is squishyville?!

Many entrepreneurs have ‘head trash’ – talk about why it’s important to take out the trash if you want to accelerate your growth.

One of your chapters is about the need to be perfect, and how that can slow down progress – what do you mean by ‘good is good enough’?

You write about how entrepreneurs should be their ‘authentic self’ all the time – please describe what you mean.

One book chapter is called Delegate or Stay Small.

You wrote about the ‘Imposter Syndrome’ how does that affect new entrepreneurs?

You say the ‘wealth rewards risk and speed' – how so?

RESEARCH: Market search is a critical part of the entrepreneurial process, as entrepreneurs enter new markets to find high-growth areas.

FALSEHOOD: When spectacular financing results in a collective overstatement of the attractiveness of a market, a consensus emerges that the market is rich, and the path is cleared for many entries, including those that do not have a clear fit.

RESULT: When failures render a market unpopular, only the most viable entrants will overcome exaggerated skepticism and enter, taking the non-consensus route. Venture capitalists likewise exhibit herding behavior, following other VCs into hot markets. The consensus entrants are less viable, while non-consensus entrants are more likely to prosper.

CONCLUSION: Non-consensus entrepreneurs who follow, then unfollow the trends, are most likely to stay in the market, receive funding, and ultimately go public.

RESULT: Results of the study show that:

Work-related strain is related to both less personal and less financial subjective business success.

Work engagement is related to higher personal, but not financial subjective business success.

As predicted by the JD-R Model, both high job demands and low job resources predicted work-related strain.

In contrast to findings of other studies, high job demands are not related to low work engagement, only having low job resources did.

CONCLUSION: Entrepreneurs can achieve an important advantage over other entrepreneurs if they can learn to deal effectively with job demands and work-related strain.

]]>STUDY: This podcast focuses on a cross-sectional study among 277 Dutch entrepreneurs investigating how entrepreneurs’ job demands relate to their work-related strain and work engagement, as well as their feelings of success. RESULT: Results of the study show that:

Work-related strain is related to both less personal and less financial subjective business success.

Work engagement is related to higher personal, but not financial subjective business success.

As predicted by the JD-R Model, both high job demands and low job resources predicted work-related strain.

In contrast to findings of other studies, high job demands are not related to low work engagement, only having low job resources did.

CONCLUSION: Entrepreneurs can achieve an important advantage over other entrepreneurs if they can learn to deal effectively with job demands and work-related strain.

Why high achieving women may stunt their career growth

The less a woman feels like an entrepreneur, the less likely her business will grow

Miller, 2014, performed a study on personalities of entrepreneurs. The literature on entrepreneurship bears a distinctly positive cast, often with good reason. Entrepreneurs and their innovations have contributed enormously to national wealth, and so scholars have examined the personalities, capabilities, and contexts underlying these contributions. However, despite some early work, the negative aspects of the entrepreneurial personality have been largely ignored.

Argument:

We shall argue that given the nature of the challenges facing many entrepreneurs and the consequent demands of their jobs, certain personality traits will be quite valuable to them.

Positive Findings:

These, however, tend to be Janus-faced in that positive attributes, such as energy, self-confidence, need for achievement, and independence, may sometimes lead to negative traits.

Negative Findings:

Demands of an entrepreneur devolve naturally into aggressiveness, narcissism, ruthlessness, and irresponsibility. Given the costly repercussions of the latter characteristics, we urge more study of their nature and causes among entrepreneurs.
